title: [Psychological group treatments of patients with essential hypertension in a general practice--results of a pilot study (author's transl)].
abstract: Sixty patients with essential hypertension received psychological group treatment in a general practice in 4 groups of 15 persons. The following methods were applied: adiposis training, self-measurement, relaxation training, information. Another 15 hypertensives were untreated controls. A short-term hypotensive effect is most distinctly demonstrable in the information group, suggesting the recommendation to intensify the group information of hypertensives.
